VinFast unveils Global Expansion Strategy for Electric Scooters, India among key markets

VinFast targets India, Southeast Asia with battery-swapping e-scooters and large retail expansion by 2027

VinFast has announced its international expansion strategy for electric scooters, identifying five priority markets—the Philippines, Indonesia, India, Thailand and Malaysia—as the first phase of its global growth roadmap. The announcement marks a significant milestone in VinFast’s ambition to build a comprehensive green mobility ecosystem across high-potential global markets.

Under this strategy, VinFast will accelerate its global rollout of electric scooters, beginning with regions characterised by strong urban mobility demand, favourable demographics, and a rapidly growing shift towards sustainable and electric transportation solutions.

As part of its product strategy, VinFast plans to introduce a diverse portfolio of battery-swapping electric scooters, including the VinFast Flazz, VinFast Evo, VinFast Feliz II and VinFast Viper, along with additional new models to be launched in subsequent phases. Each product is being carefully localised to suit regional riding conditions, usage patterns and consumer preferences, ensuring relevance across varied markets.

To support its commercial expansion, VinFast aims to establish hundreds of retail outlets across these markets by 2027, creating a robust sales and service footprint to enable long-term scalability. The company’s flexible and asset-light expansion model integrates dealer partnerships, service workshops, financing solutions and energy infrastructure, supported by collaboration with V-Green for charging and battery-swapping networks.

Through this multi-pronged approach, VinFast is positioning itself as a key global player in electric two-wheelers, strengthening its presence in fast-growing mobility markets while advancing its vision of accessible, sustainable transportation.

VinFast’s international expansion strategy builds upon its strong domestic performance in Vietnam. In 2025, the Company delivered 406,453 e-scooters, officially securing the leading market share position in the country’s scooter segment. With a portfolio of more than 10 models spanning multiple segments and supported by flexible charging and battery-swapping solutions, VinFast has positioned e-scooters as a preferred mobility choice among Vietnamese consumers.

Entering 2026, VinFast announced the completion of its master plan for three distinct e-scooter lines: mainstream, premium, and sport. The Company simultaneously launched seven new models in the premium and sport categories, reinforcing its competitive positioning in design, performance, and product differentiation. Supported by large-scale manufacturing capabilities, a competitive pricing strategy, and a comprehensive ecosystem, including flexible battery-swapping solutions provided by strategic partner V-Green, VinFast aims to significantly accelerate transportation electrification across the region and globally.

Ms. VoThiCam Tu, Managing Director of VinFast E-Scooters Overseas Market, stated: “Expanding our e-scooter business globally represents a strategic pillar in VinFast’s long-term development roadmap. We have conducted in-depth market research, worked closely with local partners, and developed comprehensive plans for dealer network expansion, product portfolios, and service ecosystems. Through collaboration with reputable dealers and strategic partners worldwide, VinFast is committed to delivering smart, sustainable, and accessible electrified mobility solutions, contributing meaningfully to the green transformation of transportation in diverse markets.”

The Philippines serves as the first strategic market in VinFast’s global e-scooter expansion journey. The Company has swiftly partnered with five leading dealers across Luzon and Mindanao, Maverick Racing Factory Inc., MotorCentral, New Nemar Development Corp., Supremebike Corporation, and ARC Trading, to deploy a nationwide retail and service network. These partners are well-established, experienced players with clear commitments to green transition initiatives.

In recent years, VinFast has progressively built a green mobility ecosystem in the Philippines, Indonesia, India, and other markets through collaboration with reputable local partners, as well as strategic partners such as GSM, an all-electric taxi operator, and V-Green, a global charging infrastructure developer.

Beyond e-scooters, VinFast has also introduced a diverse electric vehicle lineup ranging from the VF 3 to the VF 9, expanding consumer choice and reinforcing its contribution to the ongoing transition toward sustainable transportation.
